Trinity Mirror said in a statement: “As part of an ongoing review of the business, S&UN has today announced a number of proposed changes to the editorial management structure at the Paisley Daily Express.

“The Paisley Daily Express, together with its associated free publication, the Renfrewshire World will become part of the Ayrshire/West region of S&UN.

“Consequently, the group editor will now assume responsibility for these titles and, in order to support senior editorial staff and oversee the change process, will be based at the Paisley office with immediate effect.

“As a result of these changes it is proposed that the role of editor at the Paisley Daily Express will be made redundant and the company has entered into a period of consultation with the member of staff affected.”

“As the only daily title within S&UN, the Paisley Daily Express needs a full-time editor to maintain the standards and integrity of the publication. The chapel urges management to reinstate the post immediately.”
